It can be difficult to attract doctors to those areas. We do have two wonderful doctors—they are a couple—and they needed particular help with the upgrading of the Tenterfield Shire Council owned facility they use. I am pleased to say that in the budget there was a grant of $295,000 for them and the council to provide the medical practice service to the local community. Areas like that will be addressed by the new HWA.
